Template:Outdated

Descendant of Template:HistoricalBox intended to warn readers that a page (which appears to be helpful documentation) is at odds with the wiki's current practices and attitudes. It is to be applied in project space, help space, and the like – never on articles or files, which should use Category:Historical (for intentionally outdated content) or a specific maintenance template.

This tag should be used with extreme caution, as it may raise a barrier to establishing firm consensus on a policy or procedure (by stating we don't have a status quo to fall back on), insinuate that certain prior edits were without consensus, and/or confuse users reading older discussions which refer to the page at hand.

When applying this tag, consider also removing the page from its "authoritative" categories (e.g. Help, Doom Wiki).
